A Comprehensive Guide to Artist Management, Music Business and Psytrance Music Production!
The Data-Driven DJ
When you let the data drive your booking strategy, you stop playing to empty rooms and start playing to your true community.
Looking Like Your Music Sounds
Your visual identity is just as important as your final mixdown
Managing the Windfall
A massive festival payout is a stepping stone, not a lottery ticket.
The Educator Route
Touring is amazing, but it can be exhausting and unpredictable. By building an educational wing to your artist project, you create a safety net of reliable, non-touring income.
Brand Partnerships and Sponsorships
By approaching your favorite gear makers, software and hardware, with a clear, value-driven pitch, you can upgrade your studio for free and create a brand new revenue stream.
Direct-to-Fan
Stop relying on streaming platforms that pay you fractions of a penny and stop fighting social media algorithms just to be heard.
Capitalizing on Your Sound
You are already doing the hard work of sound design every single day in the studio. Don't let those incredible sounds sit unused on your hard drive.
Beyond the Stage
Your music has value far beyond the festival dancefloor.
Claiming the Stage
If you play 20 shows a year and you aren't reporting your setlists, you are literally leaving hundreds or thousands of dollars in the "black box" of unclaimed royalties.
Merchandise Strategy for Psytrance Artists
Do not treat merchandise as an afterthought or a personal project. It is a core pillar of your live economics.
Content and Sales
Stop obsessing over how many monthly Social Media views you have and start obsessing over how many true fans are in your ecosystem
The Streaming Illusion
Do not let low streaming numbers discourage you and do not let high streaming numbers fool you into thinking the work is done.
